I’ve seen some people say this, and honestly, I really like the idea of Wooly being the child of someone from Hameln.
That could explain why he seems more tied to Hameln than Amanda and why he’s so insistent on following their orders.
If that becomes true, that would be VERY interesting and add a lot to his lore.
Can I just say how much I LOVE the horror in Lacey Games?
I’m just gonna start of with the stalker from Wardrobe (I’m not gonna show a pic because that face FUCKED ME UP for like 2 WEEKS). I love how Ghosttundra doesn’t do the basic distorted face monster stuff, but a realistic face of some fat guy with huge pupils who reminds me of the Ooga booga guy from Spooky Month, and that alone already puts you on edge.
And the execution of that face is also terrifying. The way he hides in shadows all over the place is so creepy but so realistic and really makes you feel trapped and that he could be anywhere. When you’re dressing Lacey up for her picnic and let her outside, for a first-time viewer, you don’t see the stalker hiding in the bushes until he shows up again watching outside her window. The contrast between HIM and Lacey’s cartoony art style is just so unsettling too.
And the rest of the series is horrifying. In Diner, the entire time Lacey has her emotional breakdown with putting all her trauma and her uncle into a meal is so gross and so sad at the same time. And when she goes to serve the customers, the switch between the cartoony style and the hyper realistic imagery, alongside the chewing and slurping sounds in the background, makes that scene all the more disgusting.
That’s all I wanted to say right now, I’m so tired 😴
HELL YEAHHHHHH🔥🔥🔥
GUYS IT IS THE WOOLY MONSTER’S HAND
I COULDNT GET A BETTER QUALITY IMAGE BECAUSE IT WOULDNT LET ME ENHANCE IT BUT OMGGG
Dough-brain here saw that Safe Haven was getting low on supplies and had the bright idea to start skipping almost every meal and barely eating a thing so the littles wouldn’t have to ration their food as much, just as he started doing in canon judging by the “I haven’t eaten in weeks” line after devouring Pianosaurus.
Aaaannd they all found out because he literally passed out in the middle of a conversation, giving everyone a huge fright and pissing the medic off once they figured out what he’d been doing to himself.
Partially inspired by a post I reblogged a bit ago talking about how much pain Doey puts himself through just to make sure the little ones have enough to eat 😢
Why is she so pretty
Like what do I have to achieve to be THIS beautiful
She's my favorite character I love her so much she's so silly
Okay, so this is just me guessing what's gonna happen in the third ATA game based on the stuff we got in ATA 2.
First off: where will the third game take place?
At the end of the true ending, Riley goes down a hatch which leads deeper into the library (idk why a library would need that). My prediction is that whatever place we find ourselves in, it's gonna be more focused on Hameln. I've seen theories that where we're going will lead to something related to Hameln's cult and the rituals and stuff like that. It might be an escape hatch, or it might lead to something else. I think that we might be going to where Kate and her group were talking about the tapes-maybe something like a detective-like area with a billboard with different photos and stuff like that.
Next theory: What will the tapes be about?
To get the true ending, you can't help Amanda and Wooly take down the possum and when that happens, they get REALLY pissed at you. Amanda even says "Why didn't you help us? I TRUSTED you!" which probably means that we've lost both of their trust. When we put in the tape we took with us in whatever TV we can find at where we'll be, Amanda and Wooly will definitely NOT be happy to see us- they'll probably be like "Oh, it's you." in hateful tone or something like that. They'll probably be WAY more impatient at us than before. I think that we'll probably have to try and gain their trust back, maybe by getting things for them, connecting with them in some sort of way, etc.
Next theory: Who on EARTH is Wooly?
This damn sheep has me in a chokehold with the very little amount of lore we get from him specifically. So far, we've gotten some flash frames from him when we type in "horror" in the story tape, and it seems to be a reference to the butcher- with all of the meat imagery. A lot of people think he's Sam, another kid we don't know, an Ai program, a literal sheep who gained sentience, etc. I, for one, think that he's a Hameln employee who was transported to the cartoon world in the same way Rebecca was to monitor her and keep her on track. Think about it. He tries to keep Amanda on track with the show, he tries to make the show seem like a normal kids cartoon and-the most notable- the tapes he's present is has the Hameln logo appear at the end. However, I will say that even though Wooly might most likely be a Hameln employee, he's still suffering like Amanda. For example, as I mentioned, when we type in "horror" in the story tape when Wooly asks us what our favorite kind of story is, we get several flashes of meat which might be flashes of Wooly's trauma and at the end, he starts hyperventilating. I feel like maybe he was a Hameln employee but messed up real bad at one point and as punishment, Hameln gave him the same treatment as Amanda-have him suffer in the tapes. Another thing worth noting is that there's a secret tape in ATA 1 in the files which features Wooly sitting in a room. We see this same room again in the announcement video for the second game, where it seems like he's being held captive, with a chicken holding him at gunpoint and him at the end begging for him to be let go to someone. I think that he's being used to monitor Amanda while also being tortured in some way- it might be like Hameln saying "This is your punishment, but you can still be useful to us" or smth like that. To sum it up, I think he's a Hameln employee who screwed up and as punishment, he got transported to the cartoon world to monitor Rebecca to be useful to Hameln while also suffering with his own problems.
That's it for my bigger theories! Now onto my smaller ones...
First off: the door symbolism. Whenever we see the door (which is probably the portal to the cartoon world like we see in the meat ending in the first game) in Amanda's POV, the entrance is a deep red which might symbolize her thinking of the cartoon world as hell. However, when we see the door from Wooly's POV, the entrance is white; maybe he sees it as heaven, or purgatory, or what it actually is- the portal to the cartoon world? It makes sense because Amanda has the mind of a child, so she wouldn't see the door as what it is, but something much worse and Wooly, who most likely has an older mind, would see it for what it is.
Well, that's it for my theories so far! I'll most likely make more of these posts.
A little Riley redesign because I wanted to do something new with them!!
Also anatomy improvement????
I wonder what Wooly’s house looos like on the inside… 🤔🤔🤔
Also where did you find this?
I wonder if Amanda and wooly have their own houses? Maybe that’s why wooly wasn’t in the tapes much for the “let’s plan a trip”(at least at the beginning) “let’s start the day” and “goodnight” because he just comes over and visits sometimes.
I couldn’t not draw this
I'm honestly surprised by the lack of Amanda the Adventurer / Hellaverse crossovers. I keep thinking about Lucifer getting off his ass to finally rule hell and comes to the disturbing conclusion that humans have been getting a LITTLE TOO CLOSE to home and have started doing some really fucked up things in his absence. Finding an extremely depressed, extremely dead child whose soul is chained to a fictional reality would definitely make him very, VERY unhappy.
There are so many people calling Amanda and/or Wooly evil when they’re not talking about the ACTUAL VILLAINS OF THE STORY
Like come on guys, there are bigger fish to fry
